Fx4 shocks
 
Do you think fx4s are better at towing than a stock truck because of all it's goodies? I seen people walk their bed and their truck seems to go down or bounce. They are normal size people. I'm thinking "wow" My dad walked on his 2002 super crew fx4 bed and it doesn't sag or go down too much? I know I discussed something similar to this before.

FX4's were a "Stock" truck and I don't even know where to begin replying to the rest of that. :unsure::eek:

I don't know Wolvee, But I bet my truck would ride better with some skid plates and a fancy vinyl sticker.

If you want a towing rig try to find one with air bags. The shocks on the Fx4's are upgraded off road shocks. On a 13+ year old truck it's probably due for new shocks soon if you're on stock shocks anyway lol.

A new air freshener and some fuzzy dice did wonders on mine. I'm thinking about getting one of those "limited edition" sticker kits at Autozone. That should increase power, handling, towing capabilities.... you name it. As soon as I save up enough, it's mine.

No, a Fx4 has a lower towing capacity than a comparable 2wd. The rancho shocks are the only suspension difference and make no difference in towing ability.
